The Record

STOCKTON - Police believe a man wearing a wig may have fired shots into a residence Wednesday morning in a crime-ridden section of central Stockton, authorities said.

A woman told officers she was outside her home in the 600 block of East Oak Street about 8:05 a.m. when a man approached her and said "Good morning." When the woman walked back into her residence, the man attempted to follow, but she shut the screen door before he could enter, police said.

The man then asked: "You guys from Oakland?" About 20 seconds later, the woman heard gunshots being fired into her home. No one was injured, authorities said.

The person who attempted to enter the woman's home was described as a black man in his 30s standing 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 140 to 150 pounds, police said. He was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and a blue hat. The man was bald but appeared to be wearing a wig or hairpiece, authorities said.
